Tech Live-aboard trips
2 Routes available for Technical Wreck Live-aboards
Wrecks discovered on our previous technical diving trips, and new marks which we plan to investigate, are spread over an enormous area in the Gulf of Thailand. For this reason we run three main wreck diving trips - specifically to the North, East of Koh Tao. The northern route is shalower for less experinced tech divers whilst the eastern route is great for tri-mix divers, we try to always travel between marks overnight so we can spend a whole day diving and exploring each wreck .Each route is planned so that we can make at least two big technical dives each day.

This trip is great for Technical divers who have completed there DSAT Tec Deep, Tec 50 or TDI Extended Range courses or for divers wishing to complete there Tri-Mix course.
We can normally make at least two dives a day on each wreck, so 6 big tech dives over 3 days

Eastern Route
4/5 day tech live-aboard expedition 3-4 days
Our eastern route is further out and the wrecks deeper so ideal for tri-mix divers, visiting wrecks such as the Big Boy wreck, Seacreast and some WWII to go check out
these wrecks are between 55 - 75 metres, so wreck dives on this eastern route are great for trimix divers or trimix diving courses. 
The eastern wrecks include our known wrecks such as big boy and the seacrest drill ship and some WWII wrecks we haven't yet reached including Tottori Maru, Araosan Maru, Akela Maru, Nanmei No.5 Maru and Sakura Maru.
